The Beach Skip the crowds and commercial feel. Coral Cabanas offers Key West-style charm and beach access #13—quieter, more private, and just across the street. With no public parking nearby, this cove is one of Siesta's most exclusive beaches. The white quartz sand, tide pools, and calm, clear water are perfect for relaxing. A livelier scene with food, drinks, and the weekend drum circle is just a short beach walk north. Point of Rocks reef is only 60 yards south.
The Location No car needed. Nestled on a quiet street with no traffic, businesses, or public parking. Walk 7 minutes to Siesta's top eco-adventures—boat, bike, jet-ski, and fishing tours. Prefer to relax? Sunbathe on the balcony, nap in a hammock, or enjoy Siesta's top-rated seafood, ice cream, and waterfront dining. Just a short stroll to favorites like Daiquiri Deck, Sniki-Tiki, Crescent Club, and Orange Octopus.
Reef Snorkeling Siesta Key is already paradise—now add one of the Gulf Coast's best snorkeling spots! Just 60 yards south, Point of Rocks offers safe, shallow waters filled with tide pools, colorful marine life, and shelling treasures. Most days you'll spot chameleons, sponges, mother-of-pearl shells, conch, and maybe even dolphins or turtles. Ideal for exploring by foot, snorkel, paddleboard, or kayak.

Lovely stay
We rented a two bedroom unit through Gertrude Rentals and loved the location, the unit, and the beach. The unit was comfortable and clean, the location was ideal for the beach and getting to the Village, and the water and sand at the beach was the highlight. So beautiful! Great stay!
As advertised. Would definitely stay here again. It isn’t fancy but it’s clean and comfortable. Walls are thin so you’ll hear the neighbors, but people were respectful and mostly quiet (just kid noises). Very short path to beach, no shoes necessary. Good layout, nice deck to sit on, well outfitted kitchen, good sized common area, clean and free laundry. Nice beach towels, chairs and umbrellas. Very responsive mgmt—asked for new ice trays and voila! Hope to have a chance to return soon!

Great Location!
The host was informative and very quick to respond to the few inquiries we had. The unit was as advertised and fit our needs perfectly. Great location with just a 1 minute walk to the beach. We found the beach that was outside our front door as the best in the area. We will definitely be back!
Great location. Was nice to have chairs and umbrella's available to use on the beach.

Beautiful Location
The location was priceless- you couldn't ask for more convenient beach access! We enjoyed the common downstairs space that allowed us to grill out and swing in the hammocks.
Super easy reservation and check in/out process
The location is fantastic- walk to the beach or to a restaurant. The accommodations were comfortable, clean and complete. Just right for a relaxing and rejuvenating beach vacation. We are definitely looking forward to returning!
